UAE school reopening: Make the first day accident-free and get traffic points removed

## Accident-Free Day Initiative

As schools across the UAE prepare to reopen, Dubai Police is emphasizing the importance of safe driving on August 31. The "Accident-Free Day" campaign encourages motorists to adhere to traffic rules, particularly in school zones, to ensure a smooth and safe start to the academic year. Participants who comply with the campaign's guidelines can have four traffic points removed from their records.

## Safety Measures and Traffic Fines

Motorists are reminded to follow key safety measures, such as obeying speed limits around schools, stopping for school buses with activated stop signs, and giving way to pedestrians at crossings. Violations, such as using a mobile phone while driving or incorrect parking, can result in significant fines and black points.

## Community Involvement

The initiative, organized by the Ministry of Interior and the Federal Traffic Council, aims to foster road safety awareness. Motorists can join by pledging to drive safely, with the goal of making safe-driving habits a daily practice beyond the campaign.

## Key Reminders for Drivers

- Obey speed limits in school zones. - Stop for school buses with stop signs. - Give priority to pedestrians at crossings. - Avoid using mobile phones while driving. - Use designated drop-off and pick-up areas.

Dubai Police urges all drivers to remain vigilant and patient, especially around school buses and pedestrian areas, to help make the new school year accident-free.
